Solmyr Rib Brace Broken Rib Belt, Chest Brace Elastic Rib Support Brace for Men and Women, Chest Binder to Reduce Rib Cage Pain, Breathable Chest Wrap Belt for Sore or Bruised Ribs Support, Sternum

I managed to bruise my rib, something I do not recommend for anyone due to the excruciating pain, but if you do, I highly recommend this brace, especially if you bruised an upper rib.I tried to wrap it up with all different sizes of elastic bandages, but I felt no real relief.Once I received this and put it on, I actually felt instant relief! It was actually comfortable and I was able to breathe without pain!For the women: I am not small breasted. I'm a 38D. I got the one with 3 straps and they are very adjustable so I was able to get a good fit without crushing myself. The lower strap provided support, kept the brace from slipping, and the added benefit of not having to wear a bra! LOL!My actual healing time was a lot shorter than I thought it would be as well.I hope you never need this for a bruised rib, but if you do, I highly recommend it!

This really works. I broke ribs in my upper chest and this is the only brace I could find that offers support to a break so high up. It provides immediate relief and the longer I wear it, the better I feel. Well made. So happy with this purchase

The rib brace has been super helpful in eliminating pain and being able to breathe deeply. Before receiving it, I was taping my ribs, which wasn't comfortable and was hot. The brace has allowed me to wear it for longer periods without being hot or uncomfortable. I feel like that will allow for quicker healing since I'm not re-injuring myself when completing household chores. The price was definitely worth it. The only issue with the size is that I don't have a long enough torso, but it just takes getting used to. I ordered the small and don't think it comes smaller. Even if it does, I don't think that would be the solution since it otherwise fits well.

I bought this after a car accident hoping it would help with the pain in my chest and ribs whenever I moved. Alas, it was not for me. It did seem to help a little bit but it was hot and uncomfortable. I'm on the heavy side with a belly but it might work better on a different body shape.

Worked better than just the wraps..

This is the best brace I have purchased! I had another one but this surpasses all others! Higher recommend. Good coverage and excellent support!!!

I thought it was going to work really well as I needed a rib support up high under my armpit. It was staying high and was very supportive. Then I started feeling something poking me at my waist and ended up discovering that the rib under the other arm had made a hole in the brace material and was sticking out and sticking me. Returned it.

I ended up returning it because it didn't suit my mom's injuries. The pressure hurt more than helped, so she couldn't wear it. It did appear to be sturdy and well-designed.It'll likely be handy if you separate or dislocate a rib. It'll be a good stabilizer to keep your torso upright. The shoulder strap can be repositioned (velcro ends that stick to the body portion) and would help keep the brace from moving down or shifting around the body.
